TWO 1968 SUZUKI T500 COBRA BARN FINDS - BOTH TO PAUL MILLER!

More to follow about this incredible find, but in a nutshell purchased from the original Michigan owner, with original title and 1968 dealership purchase paperwork (it was the floor model), original owner's manual, original tool kit, still has air pump, 16,000 original miles, not started since about 1985 but engine turns over, un-ripped original seat, did not come with blinkers / turn signal lamps, original aftermarket mirror (not a factory Suzuki Cobra mirror), and oh... plenty of rust! I actually passed on this after MUCH debate and pain - but I already have a restored Cobra. I then talked to a couple of other local northern virginia Suzuki enthusiasts, but they too passed for the usual reasons (too many bikes, too little space - too little time and cash!). BUT, rest assured, she's in good hands because I passed the ball and the reception was complete to an all-pro wide receiver who knows how to put ones like this in the end zone. Again, more details to follow in the coming weeks and months but here are the photos of a smokin' Cobra in the winter snow...
